The Money Pit

Accusations and Betrayal in a Relationship

Walter YOU WHORE!! I leave town for 5 minutes, you can't wait to leap into the sack with old Max!

Anna You...Bastard!

Walter That's right! Laying it off on me!

Anna You hypocrite!

Walter I'm not the one screwing around!

Anna Just be honest with me.

Walter How long has this been going on?

Anna You chauvinist meathead! (getting off the bed) I'm not telling you anything! (runs out of the bedroom going downstairs) Now or ever again!

Walter Oh, this is perfect! Guess who suddenly turns into the injured party! Where do you think you're going?

Anna Someplace where you're not!

Walter Well, then, you stay here, because I'm leaving!

Anna Fine! Get out! I never want to see you again! (the door splats into the wall)

Walter (pulls the door from the wall) The plasterer came?

Morning Conversations and Musical Plans

Walter You're up bright and early.

Anna I didn't sleep very well.

Walter You look great. Got a date?

Anna Yes, with the Marine Corp Band. I'm starting with the brass and working my way into the drum section.

Walter Don't you think we should talk?

Anna This is not the time to talk. I'm mad and getting madder.

Walter Oh, you're mad! What do you think I am?

Anna I think you're a jerk.

Walter I know that. I didn't realize how big a jerk I was until last night.

Anna Neither did I.

Walter Let's just pack it in then, all right? Let's just finish this whole thing here and now!

Anna Fine.

Walter I'll pack a bag for you, so you don't have to come back tonight, and I'll send the rest later!

Anna You expect me to move out?

Walter You shouldn't have any trouble finding a bed!

Carpenter I've got a bed, lady.

Walter GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! THIS IS PRIVATE!

Anna I don't what makes you think you can just throw me out of my own house! You're the one who's moving!

Walter I have worked, slaved, suffered! Put my time into my eyes, and you just want to move out, just because you have something for Max? No way! You hear me? No way!

Anna I have worked and slaved and suffered for this house every bit as much as you have! Actually more, because I've had to put up with you!

Walter This is ridiculous! You don't even like this house! You never liked this house!

Anna I...love this house!

Walter You've done nothing but complain about it, ever since we got here!

Anna I did one other thing Walter, I sunk every nickel I had in the world in this house!

Walter And you'll get it all back! I told you that!

Anna Me and everybody you've ever met! "I'll pay you back." will be written on your gravestone!

Walter I wouldn't give lessons on the value of promises! Your word didn't do too well on this last outing!

Anna Your's is fine! It's certainly a lot better than your check! (walks into a room)

Walter I'll get you your money back!

Anna I don't want the money! This is my house and I'm not moving.

Walter It's a big house, we'll divide it up! You stay in your half, I'll stay in mine!

Anna That is such a dumb idea. Sometimes it amazes me you ever passed the bar.

Walter I'm sure it does, you've never passed a bar in you life.

Anna You are so much less attractive when I'm sober.

Walter Thank goodness it's not that often.

Anna (yelling) All right, that's it! I've had it with you, and the house, and Max, and the orchestra and everything! How long will it take to put this house together?

Curly Two weeks.

Anna Okay, We'll stick it out until the house is finished. Then we'll sell it, get our money back and get the hell away from each other.

Walter Fine!

Anna (starting to go upstairs) GET BACK TO WORK!

Walter Bang! Zoom!

Kitchen Chaos and Thanksgiving Dinner

Walter Little problem in the kitchen, nothing trivial.

Anna Well, the turkeys done.

Walter So is the kitchen. Actually, it's a little overdone for my taste. Let's not go there again.

Anna You don't want to tell me what happened?

Walter No, I don't. I just want to relax in a nice lukewarm bath.

Anna What about this?

Walter I don't think that can hurt us any more.
